Transmigrating Into The Male Lead’s Villainess Older Sister

“Cut! —— Very good, you both improvised very well!” After Siyu finished saying that line, Director Liang finally excitedly shouted for a cut.

Besides the first part where it followed the script, from Xu Qingwan suddenly pushed Siyu into the water, to Siyu pulling her into the water, those scenes were all their improvisation. However, after Director Liang replayed the shots several times, he was more and more convinced that these scenes were more suitable with each replay. His excitement rose to the point that he slapped his thigh once.

That’s right, he had felt that there was something missing in the script. Yunhe’s transformation was too abrupt! She used to be bullied in the palace and she didn’t dare to speak up at all. So how could she be so unyielding in the face of the enemy after the country fell? It didn’t make sense!

But after this stroke of genius from Siyu, everything lined up. Yunhe wasn’t weak nor cowardly, she was only unwilling to fuss about it. She had pride at the depths of her heart. That’s why she suddenly fought back when Yunmeng questioned her right to be a princess.  

What’s more important was, Director Liang felt that Siyu’s adaptability was really good. Xu Qingwan suddenly changed her way of acting and almost in an instant, Siyu seamlessly continued the scene. She even complemented Yunhe’s personality. Director Liang rarely met this kind of young, resourceful actor these days. With this thought, he was even more satisfied with Siyu.

“This girl is a promising talent.” Director Liang looked at the shooting results and instructed the staff, “This shot is very good, keep it.”

“Siyu-jie! Quick, I’ll accompany you to go change your wet clothes first!” Once Director Liang shouted for a cut, Chen Yue who had been waiting impatiently at the side hastily rushed to her. However, on her way over, Xu Qingwan’s assistant bumped her to the side.

That assistant quickly ran to the pond, pulled Xu Qingwan up, and then draped the thick cotton-padded jacket that had been prepared from earlier on her body. Then, she took a small towel to wipe the water droplets on her face. She took care of her very attentively.

Xu Qingwan’s physique was at least two times better than Siyu’s. She stayed in the water for less than a minute, but she covered her mouth like she was cold as soon as she came up. Her hair was dripping water, she certainly looked delicate and pitiful.

“Director Liang, Just now I may have a bit of shortcoming in the grasp of my character. I’m really sorry, If you allow it, I think I can do it again in accordance with Siyu’s acting just now……” Xu Qingwan suggested softly.

Who expected Director Liang to immediately shake his head and refuse, “No need. That shot just now passed. You two improvised very well.”

Hearing this, the smile on Xu Qingwan’s face slightly stiffened. She unconsciously bit her lower lip.

The little assistant at the side was very perceptive. Seeing that Xu Qingwan had stopped talking, she hastily greeted Director Liang and supported Xu Qingwan to the lounge room. 

At this time, Chen Yue also rushed to Siyu’s side. She knew that Siyu had a feeble body. This time, she came out fully prepared. First, she wrapped Siyu tightly in clothes before lowly muttering, “What kind of person is she? She’s so spoiled. Siyu-jie had been in the water for more than ten minutes without complaining. Yet this person has already started her act! Not to mention that she wanted another shot, is she addicted to acting that scene or something?” 

After saying that, Chen Yue urged Siyu, “Siyu-jie, we also should hurry and change your clothes!”

Siyu didn’t move. Instead, she looked at Director Liang and inquired, “ Director Liang, then next——?”

Director Liang waved his hand, “Next we’ll shoot the scenes with the rebel army! So, you should rest in the lounge room for a while. We will shoot the other scenes first and then it’ll be your scene. Don’t catch a cold.”

Siyu smiled at Director Liang and thanked him. However, because her face was too pale, her smile carried a sense of weakness. That kind of unusual sense of beauty made everyone’s eyes around her light up. 

Because the role Siyu was playing was only an extra, which meant that she barely appeared for around the first two minutes of the film, so Director Liang actually didn’t expect that much from her. However, he hadn’t expected that Siyu’s performance was completely beyond his expectations. It was an unexpected pleasant surprise. Therefore, Director Liang’s attitude towards her noticeably thawed.

In contrast, Director Liang’s impression of Xu Qingwan was a little subtle. Just now, he was quite appreciative of Xu Qingwan’s courage in proposing to change the script. He was not the kind of person who adhered to the rules. It was common for him to add and alter the script at any time on the spot. However, in the previous shot, he actually thought that Siyu was better. In addition, after the shooting Xu Qingwan was hurriedly supported to the lounge room. Those who didn’t know about what happened would have thought that she had been wronged by the production team.

Other people (Siyu) whose body is not in good condition had not been in such a hurry. What’s Xu Qingwan worried about? Director Liang frowned and his favorable impression towards Xu Qingwan involuntarily faded a bit.

On the other side, after Siyu changed her drenched clothes in the changing room, she coughed up a burst of blood. Chen Yue was distressed and worried when she saw it. She anxiously asked Siyu whether she wanted to go and rest in the lounge or not.

Actresses like them who weren’t famous naturally didn’t have a private lounge. If she was to go over there now, she would most likely bump into Xu Qingwan. Siyu shook her head and said, “No. Why should I go—to watch how other people put on airs?” 

Chen Yue knew who Siyu was referring to. She snuck a glance at Siyu and saw the faint anger on her face. She also indignantly said, “Siyu-jie, don’t you think Xu Qingwan did it on purpose? Everything was all right, why would she suddenly change the script? If she didn’t cause so much trouble, you wouldn’t have to stay underwater for such a long time!”

Siyu curved her lips, “She did it intentionally.”

From the moment she caught  Xu Qingwan’s gaze, Siyu knew that she did it intentionally. Only, she didn’t know where this enmity came from?

“How dare she? ! This is Director Liang’s crew. Director Liang has the least patience for his actors and actresses stirring up trouble….” Chen Yue exclaimed. She looked around, then drew near to Siyu and whispered, “Siyu-jie, just now I recorded the scene. Do you want to….”

Siyu was somewhat surprised at Chen Yue’s quick-wittedness. However, she still shook her head, “No need.”

Chen Yue was a bit unreconciled, ”Why? We should let others see what Xu Qingwan is like.”

“Ah you. If this video leaked out, what could it prove? This scene was something that the director consented to. There’s completely no problem. Furthermore, this is a part of the movie. If it’s revealed just as we started filming, have you ever thought that once the crew made a thorough investigation, they could easily find that it was our doing?” Seeing Chen Yue’s ignorant face, Siyu patiently said, “Of course, you can keep this video. Who knows if we could use it later?”

Chen Yue quickly nodded.

Since she didn’t want to go to the lounge, Siyu suggested that they go out for a walk. Chen Yue took a clean overcoat and draped it over Siyu’s shoulder, lest Siyu caught a cold. Then they stealthily sneaked away from the back door. As soon as they left the crew, Chen Yue saw several fiends dressed in black wordlessly surround them, blocking all their way out.

“Who are you guys?!” Chen Yue hid Siyu behind her like she was protecting a little chick. As she eyed these people warily, she internally complained that they didn’t seem to have come with good intentions. However, the shooting location was so lively. They shouldn’t dare to act recklessly…right?

The men in black ignored her. The leader stepped forward. He looked directly at Siyu and respectfully said, “Miss Zhou, It’s windy outside. You’re[formal] prone to cold. The fifth master told us to take good care of you. Why don’t you take a rest in the car for a while?”

“S-Siyu-jie…..” These people in black were all experienced in bloody combat. The imposing aura that they emitted was extraordinary and common people who saw would inevitably be afraid. Chen Yue couldn’t help but grab onto the hem of Siyu’s clothes. 

Siyu patted Chen Yue, signaling her to relax. After that, she said to those men in black, “Sorry to trouble you. Please send my thanks to the Fifth Master.” She couldn’t refuse. Since they’ve moved Fifth Master Lu’s name out, Siyu believed that if she said no, there would be a hundred ways to make her compromise. Since it was so, it would be better to save some time.

These bodyguards in black led them to the car. The interior was very luxurious. The bottom was covered in soft carpeting. There was a small table set up in the middle, with ginseng tea to warm up the body and all kinds of refreshments arranged on top.

“Fifth Master said, we must remember to remind you to take the medicine on time.” The leader of the men in black set a porcelain bottle filled with pills on the table. When Siyu and Chen Yue took their seats in the car, they moved away from the car and made room for them in unspoken coordination. “If you[formal] need anything, just let us know.”

“There’s actually one thing.” Siyu suddenly remembered her doubts and narrowed her eyes. Since there’s a readily available connection in her hand, she would just use it and treat it as a compensation for her emotional damages. She looked at the leader and requested, “Could you investigate Xu Qingwan for me? I’d like to know the exact details of her from before she entered the entertainment industry.”

The leader was taken aback in surprise, but he quickly recovered and nodded, “Please wait while I make the  arrangements.”

“…..Don’t you need to ask the Fifth Master first?” Siyu was a bit suspicious.

The leader laughed, “The Fifth Master has already dispatched us to Miss Zhou’s side. Naturally, we will do our best to satisfy your requests.”

All this time, Chen Yue had been listening quietly from the side. When those people left, she couldn’t control her curiosity and asked, “Siyu-jie, who are those people? They look so frightening….”

“Don’t meddle in,” Siyu answered Chen Yue perfunctorily, but she was also a little unsettled. She remembered at that time Fifth Master Lu said that he left some people for her, but she hadn’t seen a figure since then. Hence, she thought it was just a talk; who would have thought these people in black had actually come to the crew! 

She was shocked and felt her back drenched in a cold sweat. The Lu family’s influence was everywhere. Just how many informants did that psycho place by her side….

Siyu touched the sandalwood bracelet on her wrist with a complicated mood. This was something that Fifth Master Lu forced her to wear. Strangely, this bracelet seemed to really have a calming effect, so Siyu didn’t take it off.

Now after thinking carefully, she suddenly felt that this bracelet was also a hot potato.

Chen Yue, who was on the side, saw Siyu’s conflicted and troubled expression. She stealthily swallowed her saliva. A frowning beauty appearance was truly good-looking…. It was just that this beauty had a profound relationship with Ji Lin and also seemed to be covered by a big shot. Could it be she came from an influential background?

Just as Chen Yue was making a wild guess at Siyu’s “background”, someone trotted over to Director Liang Qian and whispered in his ear. Director Liang’s expression immediately changed.

“What did you say? The Ji family threatened to withdraw their capital?”
